According to Sportando, the Utah Jazz are adding Ben Gonzalez to their front office.
According to the Georgia Bulldogs Men’s Basketball site:
Ben Gonzalez was named the Director of Operations for Georgia Basketball in April 2022. Gonzalez arrived in Athens after spending the past four seasons in the same role at Florida Atlantic. He also was an undergraduate and graduate manager at Florida for three years.
We’ve seen a flurry of front
office and coaching changes in recent days, and it looks like the Jazz are no different. Sportando does not say in what capacity Gonzalez will be used, but at FAU and Georgia, he “managed the team’s budget and travel, developed and organized itineraries for recruiting official visits, and recruited and developed the team’s student managers.”
That certainly sounds like someone who could be used to manage workouts for the Jazz this offseason when they find out what spot they’ll be drafting.
One thing is for sure, the Jazz will have a lot of opportunities to bring in draft picks for workouts and, no doubt, Gonzalez will be involved in one way or another.
